(Limited Edition Original Soundtrack)

Vinyl reissue of the Morricone soundtrack to the 1971 Dario Argento film. Another AMS Records exclusive, another Cinevox rarity, this time brought forth over 40 years ago by the genius of composer Ennio Morricone, in the heyday of Italian underground cinema, years when true masterpieces were made, innovative in many areas (plot, photography, colors, settings, screenplay, etc.).

4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio (4 Flies on Grey Velvet) ends the so-called 'animal trilogy' by Dario Argento, and sees the director in an absolutely inspired moment, yet probably unconscious that he'll leave an indelible mark in the history of world cinema with his following works. This movie was never officially released on videotape - apart, perhaps, in an obscure French edition - and only recently has finally been issued on optical disc, while from the soundtrack only a single 45rpm single was ever pressed.

In 4 Flies Morricone wrote one of his most 'rock-oriented' soundtracks - without of course neglecting his indelible touch - owing in part to the fact that the protagonist of the film is a rock drummer. You hear echoes of Deep Purple, not surprisingly given that Argento wanted them as the first authors of the movie score, and it is no coincidence that his most famous film is titled...Deep Red!

Another great reissue in gatefold LP format for collectors of vinyl as well as classic soundtrack enthusiasts!
